Validation Rule Error :Invalid Member Name In Lookup ({|0|}) value

We defined fdm validation rule as follows.
|Actual, April, 2010, YTD, ENTITY CURRENCY, Mumbai, TotalAssets, [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE]|-|Actual, April, 2010, YTD, ENTITY CURRENCY, Mumbai, TotalLiabilities, [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE]|= 0
After testing the above rule definition, it gives below error message.

Also we could see in the Expression after lookup substitution (scratch pad): we are getting 0-0=0.
Please provide you inputs.

I have not looked closely, but C1 is showing as "Missing Value". Have you checked to see if [None] is a valid member for the account you have selected (TotalLiabilities)?

Selecting Member Name and also Alias in Web Analysis report

I have made a web analysis report and now i want to show member names as well as alias of the members which i have selected on row side. How can i do that?

How can I pass value based on member names in a script in 11.1.1.3

I want to pass a value to only those members of CostCenter dimension which has "5" in their name.
Eg.
C12345100
C34565210
C34217890
So in the above case the value should exist only in the above 2 cost centers.
Can someone guide me in the right direction to accomplish this ?
Thanks in advance

Just now I got more clearance on the requirement.
I want to create blocks only on the selected Cost Centers & Business Unit combination.
I have the following members in both these dimensions
Cost Centers
C12345980
C12345981
C12345982
Business Unit
BU5980
BU5981
BU5555
Now I want to pass a value to one of the dense dimension members from Measure dimension (member name = CrtBlk) to only those CCs & BUs where the last 4 digit matches.
So in this case it will be for only the first 2 cost centers.
Thanks in advance.

List of avaliable MDX properties / Always show member name instead of alias

Hi all,
does anyone know if there is a list of ALL available MDX properties which can be used in an MDX query with Essbase?
There is a very small list in the technical documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/mdx_properties.htm), however I know there are a lot more properties.
E.g. one property which is not documented is ANCESTOR_NAMES:
WITH MEMBER [Year].[dummy] AS '0', SOLVE_ORDER = 0
SELECT {[Year].[dummy]} on columns,
[Account].Members properties ANCESTOR_NAMES on rows
FROM [App.Db];
Anyone knows if there is such a list?
And another question:
The Query always brings up the alias of the members (e.g. [Account].Members). Is there a way that per default the member name instead of the alias is used? Without using the MEMBER_NAME property?
Essbase version: 11.1.1.3
Thanks

For the second question regarding the member name try the following statement in a MaxL session:
alter session set dml_output alias off;works like a charm, many thanks.
Anyone an idea on the list of properties?
Edit: found something related to XMLA: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/aps_admin/ch03s03s07.html
However, e.g. the porperty PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME does not work. Also the Book MDX solutions has a list with it with e.g. PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME specified which does not work...
Anyone an idea how to get a list of all properties valid with MDX using Essbase?

Backup 3.1 V356 .Mac member name or password is not set

Hello,
I recently changed my .Mac Password and since I have done so, backup fails with .Mac member name or password is not set when I try and backup my personal data to my iDisk.
I read on the Backup help to delete all associations with .Mac in the Keychain, which I did (I had this error before deleting the Keychain error: Invalid .Mac user name or password
Unable to complete backup at this time.) I believe I deleted all of them and now how the Member name or password is not set. My way of trying to fix this was by going to the finder and clicking on the iDisk. I did this, it prompted me for the Username and Password, I re-opened backup and still no joy.
Can anybody else think of anything?
Do I need to delete backup and re-install it or something?

Things to try
System Preferences in the Internet section, under the Account table, re-enter your .mac email address and password
On your hard drive go to Library/Keychain and see if there are any values for .mac

Re Trim file name scripts in SL

Below is a frozen, unanswered conversation regarding the missing finder scripts in SL. Luckily, I make a complete backup before converting, so I still have all the old Leopard scripts. Norwichfan, I feel your pain, and I thought that archiving your thread without an adequate answer was wrong.
Here's your answer. you can just get a copy of the old finder scripts, put them in /Library/Scripts and they'll show up in your script menu as before. I have zipped up a copy of them and posted them here:

Trim file name scripts in SL
Posted: Mar 26, 2010 6:26 PM
I have recently upgraded to SL and have found that the trim/add to file name applescripts from leopard are missing from my scripts menu.
Is there a place I can find these for SL?

Thanks for the web page, had a look but not having done any work with applescript or other programming language was a bit over my head.
I decided to make a temporary solution with and automator action.

Can we use Aliases instead of member name in Calc Manager

We migrated business rules to Calc Manager. After migration Calc Managers are not getting validated (stating the member is missing in the database). Later found out that in the script it has alias name instead of member name which was causing this error.
example
Member name = C001
Alias = Texas
in the script it is mentioned Texas = 5; (this statement throws an error while validating, stating Texas is not present in the outline, even though Texas is present in the Alias table as an alias for C001).
Once I modify the script to C001 = 5; it gets validated without any issue.
Does this mean in Calc Manager we cannot use Aliases unlike business rules and Calc Scripts?
Please advice.

The 'Defects Fixed' section of the release notes for 11.1.2 includes...
"Calculation scripts validate inconsistently in Essbase and Calculation Manager (8800397)."
...which is pretty broad!
Can you run the rules OK? If so, I'd just ignore the Calculation Manager validation message.

Changing a member name in Essbase

In my ASO cube - I need to change both a level 0 and parent member name in EAS. Is it as easy as edit member properties and typing in the new name? Does the existing data follow? Also, does going from lower case to upper case create a similar change in the outline?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul
In my ASO cube - I need to change both a level 0 and parent member name in EAS. Is it as easy as edit member properties and typing in the new name? Does the existing data follow? Also, does going from lower case to upper case create a similar change in the outline?you can also use rule file to change the alias name if you are trying to change the alias name in bulk, but if you have to do for few members then goto edit member properties and change the alias it will be an easy process,
change of alias name doesnot harm your datayes going from Lower Case to Upper Case create similar change to outline

Reading data from a text file into PAS - Dimension member names truncated

Hi,
I created a procedure to dump variables and data into a text file to load into another model. I used a semicolon as a field seperator.
The data, measures and dimension members are dumped properly into a text file and no dimension member names are truncated .
However when I read the data into a measure, and I issue a peek command, dimension meber names are read in truncated
and remain full names in the text file. Any reason for this? What do I need to do to prevent this from happening?
THanks.
Lungile

Hi Lungile,
The problem that you're likely having is that you haven't created a file description for the file from which you're reading. When loading data into Application Server from a text file, you would normally go through three steps:
1. Enter the ACCESS EXTERNAL subsystem
2. Specify the name of the file to be read
3. Specify the format of the file field names, types, widths, and positions.
If you go into the Application Server help, select "Application Server Help", then "Application Server at the command level", then "Variables and reading in data", and then "Reading an external file", you will have the process of the steps you need to follow outlined for you, including links to the help topic for each command you need to issue.
So what I think you need to do is use the DESCRIPTION command to specify the names of your fields, their type, and also their width, in order to ensure no truncation of data on the load.
The same DESCRIPTION statement is required if you want to use your text file as the source of a dimension.
Hope this helps,
Robert

How to truncate the last 4 characters of a member name?

Hi, I've got a few accounts with names ending with the 4 characters:".FCT" The accounts names are of different length like PL20100.FCT andMK110.FCT I'm trying to create a rule like PL20100.FCT = PL20100 I've tried to FIX on the accounts without the ".FCT"and to concatenate to get the ".FCT" but it's not allowedto concatenate a member name used on the left hand side. Any suggestion to do this in a smart way would be greatlyappreciated.

Try wrapping in a calc block "PL20100"( @MEMBER(@CONCATENATE(@NAME("PL20100"), ".FCT")) = "PL20100"; ) You might have to play with this a little, but the idea should work.

Hyperion Planning Smart View issue with Member Names & Aliases

Hi,
Im using Smart View "Essbase" Connection to a Hyperion Planning Application, ver 11.1.1.3, however with the essbase connection i am not able to select at the smart view options to see aliases, members or both. I change the setting ( Duplicate member names allowed =true) directly at the properties of the outline in EAS, and now i am able to see the aliases, however if time I refresh using web planning/workspace this setting is undone. Furthermore i dont thing i should use it with planning. Any comments?
Kind Regards

First of all I hope you have not changed the properties of the outline in EAS for a planning application.
For more information on using aliases in smartview have a read of :- Smartview --- Display options --- to display alias names
Also you will only be able to view member name or aliases not both at the same time.
Cheers

How do I change MobileMe/iWeb member name?

We registered the iWeb account on my computer in my husband's name because we thought we would use it for family purposes only. Recently, I have realized that I could better use this account for my work. Is there a way for me to change my MobileMe/iWeb member name? I can change account details through System Preferences/.mac, but I am not finding a way to change the member name. I want to change it so the URL will be web.mac.com/myname instead of web.mac.com/hisname. Can I do this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Technically speaking, using the MobileMe for commercial sites is against the TOU although we've not heard of any sites getting bumped for it. But commercial servers will be faster and more stable since they don't have to facilitate all of the bells and whistles of the MobileMe accounts.
You can purchase a domain name from one of the providers (GoDaddy.com is one many recommend for names and hosting) and have domain name forwarding activated from your actual site URL (http://web.ME.com/MobileMeAccount_name/your_work_sitename/index.html) to the domain name, www.yourspecialname.com.
